It's all Going to Happen Next Year.
Composed and Sung by Reid Warren.
There's the Baltimore girls that wear those curls,
They're all going to drop them next year;
For they're no going to tarry, but they're all going to marry,
And it's all going to happen next year,
And it's all going to happen next year.
Then the boys will be witty and the girls will be pretty,
For they're going to shake corsets next year;
But the girls will all hustle to get back their bustle,
And it's all going to happen next year,
And it's all going to happen next year.
There's the Women's Alliance will offer defiance
In the campaign that's coming next year;
And they will, if they can, be superior to man.
And it's all going to happen next year.
And it's all going to happen next year.
There's the great big campaign, and it's coming again,
And Cleveland's the man for next year;
You can bet, if it's fair, that old Grover'll get there,
And it's all going to happen next year,
And It's all going to happen next year.
Jim McGlone and Ike Russell will have a hard tussle
In political matters next year;
You can just bet your dollar they'll make some one holler,
And It's all going to happen next year,
And it's all going to happen next year.
You can be at your ease, you can say what you please,
But free will be Ireland next year;
For Dillon's the man that will free our land,
And it's all going to happen next year,
And it's all going to happen next year.
There's the great big World's Fair will have castles in the air,
'Way out in Chicago next year;
And Victoria, the queen, at the Fair will be seen,
And it's all going to happen next year,
And it's all going to happen next year.
Now all the beau-catchers and the pocket-book-snatchers
Are laying their plans for next year;
And to reap a rich narvest they will try their hardest,
And it's all going to happen next year.
And it's all going to happen next year.
They say Kilrain and Slavin for fighting are cravin'.
And Corbett will try it next year;
But they'll all get the tout when "John L." knocks them out,
And It's all going to happen next year.
And it's all going to happen next year.
It's the talk of the town, that the rum will go down
When license is a thousand next year:
But "speak-easies "will come and flood the city with rum,
And it's all going to happen next year,
And it's all going to happen next year.
